The Development of Regional Impact (DRI) concept was codified in Florida in the Seventies, as a measure aimed at planning for the tremendous growth and development that the State had ben experiencing. The DRI statutes that were enacted stated that any development of a magnitude in excess of certain size thresholds had to go through the DRI process to be approved.The process involves extensive studies of what the DRI's impacts will be upon the both the natural and man-made environments. Many public agencies are involved in reviewing the developer's assessments of his impacts. When these analyses are completed to the agencies' satisfaction, a Development Order is drafted. It details both the magnitude of development that will be allowed within the DRI, and the mitigation that developer will have to perform to allay his impacts upon the environments.This report examines the DRI process through the analysis of a case study. The DRI chosen for the case study was the Tampa Triangle DRI, a large tract of land located in Hillsborough County near Tampa, Florida. / Department of Urban Planning
